   [Verse 1]
      E
I was walking in the park
              E7/D   E7
Dreaming of a spark
                 C#m
When I heard the sprinklers whisper, shimmer
       Amaj7
In the haze of summer lawns
                 E
Then I heard the children singing
                              E7/D     E7
They were running through the rainbows
                         C#m
They were singing a song for you
                       Amaj7
Well it seemed to be a song for you
                          E        E7/D     C#m   A
The one I wanted to write for you, for you, you
 
 
   [Chorus]
E                             E7/D       E7
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green
C#m                          Amaj7
When I am King, dilly dilly, you will be Queen
                 E
A penny for your thoughts my dear
                 E7/D        E7
A penny for your thoughts my dear
    C#m
I.O.U. for your love
    Amaj7
I.O.U. for your love
 
 
   [Chorus]
E                              E7/D       E7
Lavender's green, dilly dilly, lavender's blue
C#m                            Amaj7
When you love me, dilly dilly, I will love you
                 E
A penny for your thoughts my dear
                 E7/D        E7
A penny for your thoughts my dear
    C#m
I.O.U. for your love
    Amaj7
I.O.U. for your love
 
 
   [Chorus]
E                             E7/D       E7
Lavender dreams dilly, dilly, lavender's true
C#m                           Amaj7
When you miss me dilly dilly, I did miss you
                 E
A penny for your thoughts my dear
                 E7/D        E7
A penny for your thoughts my dear
    C#m
I O U for your love
    Amaj7
I O U for your love
